Hello, everyone.

The computers in my organization are configured with
static IP address, DNS and WINS (we don't use DHCP). For a
contingency matter, I want to create a program that
changes the WINS and DNS configurations.

Is there a registry in regedit that I can change to do so?

This program would be executed by users when neccessary.

Thanks for your help.

You cannot change your network settings while you're logged on as a
user. Only administrators are allowed to do that. Hence your program
would have to be run under an administrative account.

What if the user has administratives rights under de
computer?

Then he's logging in as an administrator.
